A former CBS News producer accused the network of “race-based layoffs” after corporate parent Paramount Skydance introduced sweeping cuts, claiming in a viral TikTok that every producer laid off from his team was a person of color while white colleagues were reassigned.
Trey Sherman, who is black, served as an associate producer for “CBS Evening News+,” a streaming extension of the network’s flagship broadcast that was among the programs shuttered during the layoffs.
He also worked for CBS’s Race and Culture Unit, which was dissolved in the same round of cuts that affected about 100 staffers across the division.

“race-based layoffs”
But didn’t they have race-based DEI hirings?
“didn’t they have race-based DEI hirings?”
Yeah but that’s different. 😏
Where can I get me one a them race cards? 👍🏻
So in their universe you can be hired for strictly racial reasons, but not fired for those same reasons.
Got it.
>> But didn’t they have race-based DEI hirings?
They had DEI-based NON-hirings as well. But only white peeps and asians were affected, therefore not rasis’.
“Trey Sherman, who is black, … also worked for CBS’s Race and Culture Unit, which was dissolved in the same round of cuts that affected about 100 staffers”
Sucks to be you, Trey. I suppose you’ll have to find a non-DEI position now?
I think I identified the problem.
Learn to code, Trey.
CBS was only losing about $35 million a year on that trash
Oh, my. How nostalgic. Some people have yet to get the memo that the race card is expired and not honored any more
“every producer on my team who got laid off is a person of color. Every person who gets to stay and will be relocated within the company is a white person.”

No way that’s accurate......if it were it would be reported by the lib news outlets ad nauseam for days.
That's the game these leftwing racists play!!! First affirmative action is used to hire more than the proportional number of racial minorities.
Then when there are across-the-board layoffs, the race card can be thrown because the layoffs contain more than the proportional number of racial minorities.
The demand is that more than a proportional number of Whites be laid off, so that later, when hiring resumes, affirmative action will require the hiring of more than a proportional number of racial minorities.
Never mentioned is the fact that even if only one White person is left in the organization of 100 or 1,000 employees, the White person is never in a minority. The established definition is racist.
Right next to the huntin licenses Mr Kerry.
YOU BROKE THE CODE! 🤣👍🏻
“layoffs were not based on merit”
This guy doesn’t understand how DEI works at all.
if was race based hiring and promotions, well figures race bases goodbyes......
Indeed not everyone has logic when you have the race card it’s all you need and want.
It was a race to the bottom in the ratings for See-BS.
